How might it feel for an Asian actress in America to read the words "traditional casting" on audition notices? Who's traditions? What traditions?   How does a shy person have the guts to step out on the stage?  How do our childhood fantasies inform our skills as a performer?  How do you raise a daughter while trying to work in the theatre and maintain your own business?
From the high school glee club in the Philippines to the stage in San Francisco, from single life to motherhood, our guest on today's episode of Apparent Artist, Vicki Kagawan has some provocative answers to share and explore.  A  sought-after Stage Manager, actress and Certified Massage Therapist and now Voice Artist AND mom, Vicki  has not had time to get bored nor stay complacent.
You will have the chance to see Vicki's work this October (2021) as the Altarena Playhouse in Alameda opens its doors again for the first time since the shutdown.  Vicki will be Stage Managing The 39 Steps, a comedy by Patrick Barlow which will be directed by the marvelously talented man and dear friend who brought Vicki and Shannon together, Mr. John Maio.   To learn more about the Altarena Playhouse and the  Artistic Director and Mom at the helm, please tune into Season 1, episode 4 with Katina Letheule.
